Thank you so much for your advice...there seems to be a huge disparity in prices, but think I'm going to stick with the inline pump. I found this one http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/DC-12V-1A-Powerful-Micro-Brushless-Magnetic-Amphibious-Appliance-Water-Pump-/282043062434?hash=item41ab1398a2:g:CKwAAOSw74FX...

Hello everyone, My interior water pump for the sink has stopped working and has been proclaimed dead by a local mechanic. I'm on the hunt for a replacement one- can anyone recommend one- it seems the original is no longer made... I believe the pump is the original- Handi Pump #5000 by Rand-Tek. Its ...

Hi there, many thanks for your replies, MCJ have very kindly got in touch today and they made a very good suggestion, which I've yet to look into. They suggested that if the brass ring on the underside of the wheel is not seated in the right place, the sprung contact may have become dislodged as I t...

Hi there, Many thanks for your reply...I really appreciate you spending the time to give it some thought...yeah you're right it would make sense to earth itself....so only one wire required, but everything seemed to fit together very nicely so I'm not sure what is going on. One other thing...I disco...

Hi there, Yeah, you're right they do; but this was ordered specifically for a T25 so I assumed I was doing something wrong but it is exactly as you've described- it's as if it's supposed to earth through the column. I'll email MCJ and ask them if it's been made wrong or they've sent the wrong one. M...

Hi everyone, I need some help again.....after hankering after a MCJ steering wheel for as many years as I've owned a camper I finally handed over the wedge to get a beautiful Rose wood rim. It is stunning and finishes things off perfectly. The only trouble is the standard wheel I removed had two wir...

Thank you so much everyone for your great replies and even photos, It's been really helpful and listed things I hadn't even considered such as the trailer. I think it's going to have to be the Vango Kela! Thanks again and looking forward to some happy camping

Hello all, After owning our camper since 2013 it's looking highly likely that we may finally get to holiday in it this year...(bodywork, roof, engine and interior all rebuilt). It's a pop top westy and like everything else when I checked out the awning that came with the van it was in a rubbish stat...

Many thanks for your replies.....I had no idea it was so hit and miss.
The engine I am replacing is the Aircooled 2.0 CU with twin solex.
Hmmm not sure what to do now...

Hi Everyone, After very nearly getting our camper back on the road I seem to have run into another problem. Quite a big one really- I need a new engine. Looking at my options, I think the best answer for me is to do an engine swap and get a reconditioned one from either The Engine shop, or the VW En...

Would love to have the technical know how to be able to reinstate the original burner, but i'm just not there yet and think its not worth tempting fate with a pterol burner and a family of four. No idea what i'll do with the original burner; I guess I'll sell it if someone wanted it or it goes in th...

Well I've done it......Webasto airtop ST with iPhone app it is......let's see how well it works!

Thanks for the advice...all very interesting. The advice ref the BL1 on the vehicle came from an Eberspacher engineer. I understand what you're saying ref fixing it up, but so I can sleep at night I would rather invest in a new one, although it sounds like there might be people out there who would b...

Hi everyone, I'm looking for a little advice please or just your experiences. I bought a Westfalia joker thinking I could renovate the Eberspacher BL1, but being a petrol burner and 33 years old I've been advised this is not the best idea. There seems to be two obvious alternatives: the Webasto airt...

Hi there, just incase anyone else has got stuck with these- VW Heritage have been fantastic and managed to find exactly the right part through Classic VW; for ten pounds too! Marvellous!
